WAITING, by                    
First Line: Waiting for you begins
Last Line: And ... Waiting for you ends.
Subject(s): Waiting


Waiting for you begins
Like softly muted violins.
The tempo quickens ...
Rises in intensity
Until it crashes ... in a symphony
Of waiting ... waiting ... waiting ...

Then, suddenly, you're home
From far across the foam.
The music swiftly blends
Into a lullaby of love
And ... waiting for you ends.
